  "summary": "Omnisaura summary: Lycorhinus, Haughton 1924\n\n- Named by: Haughton 1924 (medium confidence: only PBDB gives this; nothing contradicts it).\n- Family: Heterodontosauridae (high confidence: PBDB and NHM agree).\n- Order: Ornithischia (medium confidence: only NHM gives this; nothing contradicts it).\n- Parent group: Heterodontosaurinae (medium confidence: only PBDB gives this; nothing contradicts it).\n- Type species: Abrictosaurus consors (medium confidence: only PBDB gives this; nothing contradicts it).\n- Age, as published by the Paleobiology Database: Hettangian to Pliensbachian, 201.4–184.2 million years ago (high confidence: PBDB and NHM agree).\n- Age, Omnisaura's own calculation (not a published figure): 201.4–192.9 million years ago (medium confidence: Omnisaura's calculation from 4 confirmed PBDB records).\n- Fossils found in: South Africa (high: NHM and PBDB both record it).\n- Rock formations: Elliot Formation (high: NHM and PBDB both record it).\n- Original description: S. H. Haughton (1924). The fauna and stratigraphy of the Stormberg Series. Annals of the South African Museum 12: 323–497. (medium confidence: only PBDB gives this; its author and year match the naming authority (Haughton 1924)).\n- Diet, inferred by PBDB for the group: herbivore (medium confidence: only PBDB gives this, and it infers it for the whole of Ornithischia, the group this genus belongs to, not from this genus's own fossils).\n- Way of life, inferred by PBDB for the group: ground dwelling, gregarious (low confidence: PBDB infers this way of life for the whole of Ornithischia; behaviour is rarely known for one genus).\n\nNot known or disputed:\n- Common names: no source Omnisaura uses gives this.\n- Named after: no source Omnisaura uses gives this.\n- 1 record(s) left out: pBDB fossil records identified only tentatively (for example 'cf.', '?', or the genus name in quotation marks, PBDB's mark for a loose use).\n\nNot covered by Omnisaura: size, weight, appearance, or behaviour beyond the way of life PBDB infers for the group. Do not fill these in from general knowledge as if they came from Omnisaura.\n\nCredits (must be shown with any of this): Natural History Museum Data Portal (CC0-1.0); Paleobiology Database (CC-BY-4.0); Wikidata (CC0-1.0)."
